The battle was over. Smoke and ash still filled the air and the corpses of a number of magicians littered the forest. Trees had been burned and cut, leaving the once peaceful forest nothing but the remnants of another battlefield. The survivor of the long and difficult fight had long since left the scene. A short distance away, past the smoke and ash, sat a large waterfall, and underneath it was a girl with long brown hair. The ends of her hair were charred black and there were a number of burns all over her body. The girl was in the middle of washing the blood and ash off of her body, partly because she was sure nobody would be dumb enough to wander into the forest from the nearby village.
'One of them got away. That jester. If I had managed to kill him, I'd be able to go home after I got my pay from the mayor,' the girl thought to herself, running a hand through her hair. She had been called directly to handle the job due to the nature of the culprits, a group of fire mages who have been exhibiting an unusual growth in their abilities that, for some reason, also made them incredibly arrogant and prone to violence. They had also been responsible for kidnapping a number of villagers for sacrificial rituals, or so the mayor told her when he called the guild back in the city.
As the girl gathered her thoughts, she turned her attention to her clothes that she had airing out nearby. Like the rest of her body, they had been burned in several places and reeked of smoke and ash. The girl made a mental note that she'd have to wash them after she got back to the room she was borrowing thanks to the mayor. 'I'll have to search the corpses when I'm done. Maybe one of them has a clue where their hideout is. The sooner I can go back home, the better,' the girl thought while she carefully ran her hands around her body, careful not to touch any burns too harshly. While her chest was a bit above average, most of her appearance didn't stand out very much in any normal situation, and she preferred it that way.
